Waiting on L4610

[Driver]

I am currently waiting to hear back from the dealer re: availabilty of anL4610hst in Northern Vermont. He has come up with a pretty solid deal, but doesn't have any in stock. He is only 8 miles from the farm and has worked with several members of the wife's family that farm full time. He has sold them a number of large Case/IH units.

Today's minor dilemma: I have only been waiting 48 hours to hear back, but I am looking for an excuse to call in and check without appearing too eager.

Any creative ideas?

I would have been on the phone 24 hours ago /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

If you already have a solid deal that you are happy with, then call now! No excuses needed other than you want a tractor. The dealer is not likely to up his price just because you seem eager. Everyone is eager when they are close to buying a tractor. A fresh reminder might make the dealer pursue finding one for you a little more aggressively, especially if he thinks you might become impatient and look elsewhere.

Go ahead and appear eager! Might make the dealer know you're a good potential customer for implements and other services. I'd prob'ly be offer'n to go get it

I've decided on a 4610 for next year. I'm tired of the summer heat and figger you only go 'round once in life, so I'm get'n the 4610 with full cab and air. Just out of curiosity, could you please tell me what you're pay'n?

Thanks...

Sounds like a darn good deal. My dealer's got a 4310 with cab, but the 4610 has the "M" series front axle and doesn't cost that much more. I haven't asked my dealer for a price yet because I'm not quite ready to trade. My wife's making me wait until next spring because I just bought the L2600DT (30 hours) w/FEL and she thinks it's a bit soon to be trading /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif.

Nope! Just a very understanding wife who doesn't mind making a few sacrifices /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

2 comments, 1. Don't Wait/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif 2. That cab adds a lot of sacrifices that I'll bet wasn't in the price mentioned above.
Just tell the wife how much better trade-in allowance you'll get on a new tractor w/ only 30 hrs. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hi Mutt...

I like your way of look'n at things /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif. But... I don't wanna press my luck and have her decide that all these sacrifices are gonna stop. Besides... I've already done a bunch of whining 'n plead'n and she won't budge /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif. Spring's not that far away so I figger I can wait /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

The dealer's got a 4310 cab model and he priced it at $23,000 without FEL. I figger I can get the 4610 cab with FEL for around $26,000 or maybe a little less. Of course I can't tell my wife the "real" cost. She thinks I only paid $7,000 for the L2600
